philgor Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 the MA was the pre facelift model of the car, it was only available for a few year's, and only lasted to 1996/7 when the MB was launched. the main obvious difference's between the both are front end;bumper (grill built in to bumperbonnet (as above)wing's (headlights different shape)headlight's (different shape to mb and "ek9'd" from factory) rear end;bumperrear light's (indicator Lenz's orange not clear)badge's different style of type face3rd brake light is a bulb type, mounted at the bottom of the window inside.heated mirror's are on a separate switch, (a blank panel next to the mirror adjustment switch) i'm sure there are more, but I can't remember them all, I really should of had a photo shoot of both my mb1 (ma civic chassis code mb1 as fitted with a 1.6 engine)and the mc2 when I got it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That covers it pretty well, I'll just add MC chassis code is for the aerodecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Apart from the MB9 one! True, also MB8 is a deck. MB8 - 1.4 aerodeckMB9 - 1.5 aerodeck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 but also, I don't think they offered a 1.4 civic aerodeck for the uk market, as they most likely deemed it under powered. but the realy rare beast's are the 2.0 td version's, only made in the hatch back version from what I remember, and the engine made it in to the deck but not in the uk. right, the ma1 to 7 were non uk model's of the domain. so the ma8/9 and mb1 should of been mb1/2/3. the mb 2/3/4/5/6/7 should of been mc 1/2/3/4/5/6 (but have you noticed the extra model code to continue the continuity ) and the mb8/9 and mc 1/2/3/4, which should of been md 1/2/3/4/5/6 but what we have instead is this ma8 preface lift 5 dr hatchback 1.4 petrolma9 preface lift 5 dr hatchback 1.5 petrolmb1 preface lift 5 dr hatchback 1.6 petrol mb2 postface lift 5dr hatchback 1.4 petrolmb3 postface lift 5dr hatchback 1.5 petrolmb4 postface lift 5dr hatchback 1.6 petrolmb5 unknownmb6 postface lift 5dr hatchback 1.8 petrolmb7 postface lift 5dr hatchback 2.0 tdi mb8 postface lift 5dr aerodeck 1.4 petrolmb9 postface lift 5dr aerodeck 1.5 petrolmc1 postface lift 5dr aerodeck 1.6 petrolmc2 postface lift 5dr aerodeck 1.8 petrolmc3 postface lift 5dr aerodeck 2.0 tdi that leave's me with 2 thing's. and one is a question.. 1 as the chassis number's falls, it mean's the best civic model, the 1.8 vti is equal to E..... and that mean's E= MC2.... 2 what was the mb5, and was there going to be a mc4......? and breath......

NIKH25 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 According to the info I've found MB5 is a Domani 4WD with the same D16 as the MB4. And the diesel aerodeck is MC9 not MC3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
